- posabsolute 13y agofunny i got exactly that problem, I started a project 5 years ago to validate form, 5 years later 2 major refactor, a freaking lot of pull requests i do not reconize that project anymore problem with other maintainers is they come and go, my best one stayed about a year. my other problem is that project kind of shine with its 1000 stars on github so loosing that reputation impact my cv.. So i'm stuck releasing . version for critical issues every couple of months
